Pancakes are a popular meal at any age. Most people enjoy them for breakfast, even though they are enjoyable at any time of the day! The origins of the pancake can be traced back to the 18th century, where the Dutch first started cooking this different kind of bread. Today, the American pancake recipe is simple and easy to cook for anyone. So why not learn how to make some from your own kitchen!

There are a few cooking tools you will need to gather before you get started: a large mixing bowl, a skillet or a flat top, a nice spatula to flip your pancakes easily and a whisk, to ensure your batter is well blended. You should always verify beforehand that you have in your possession the tools and ingredients needed to cook this American pancake recipe.

To cook pancakes the right way, you need to heat up your skillet or griddle before cooking. It should have a temperature of 375F for at least ten minutes before you can start cooking. To ensure that your pancakes do not stick to it, you should also lightly spray your skillet with flavorless cooking oil. This will make for an even better American pancake recipe.

The ingredients needed are as simple as you can get: 135g of self-raisin flour, sifted; 1 egg; 125ml of cold milk and 1/4 of a teaspoon of salt. Combine all the ingredients and mix thoroughly with the whisk.

Pour small scoops of the batter on your hot skillet, making sure to leave enough between them, because they will expand. To tell if your pancakes are ready to be turned, you will have to watch for bubbles popping at their surface. They will rise and expand, and are then ready to be flipped. If you wish to add fruits, you need to do so before flipping the pancakes. Let them brown evenly on the second side before taking them out of the pan.

To make pouring easier, you can transfer some of your batter into a smaller cup. Pour equal amounts of batter on your skillet. You can also use a small ladle if it is easier for you. When your pancakes are starting to rise, and you can notice bubbles popping at the top, they need to be turned. If you are adding berries, put a small handful of them on top of the pancake before flipping it.

This American pancake recipe is simple and will please the entire family. Serve them with your favorite toppings: jam, butter, whipped cream and fresh fruits. How you enjoy your pancakes if only limited to your imagination! Last but not least, don't forget the maple syrup!
